TLDR : Answer Summary
When staying at an Airbnb in Thailand, whether you need to report your residence to immigration depends on the local regulations. Generally, some immigration offices require you to report your stay within 24 hours, especially if it's at a private residence like an Airbnb. It's also important to note where in Thailand you are staying, as different areas may have different requirements.

i went immigration, funny thing i completed the tm30 form only with the business card from the condo, i didn't had to mention the room number anywhere, so what is preventing someone to put any random adress ? 🤔🤨

, IF you never need to go to the immigration office for anything while legally you should do it they wouldn't know if you didn't. It's only at the offices that require the receipt of having done it to use them for an extension etc.

That could work, book a night, get the receipt and the business card, go in and file for your extension. All it can do is NOT work ;)

yep you are going to need to do a TM.30 report form at that immigration office. They give you 3 days from the time you move in before they fine you 1600baht for not doing it.

I was asking WHERE in thailand are you staying because some immigration offices want you to go report you're there within 24 hours of staying at a private residence and some don't
